Chapter 43
: Forty-Three [Old Xu Rescue Field]
The crew of “Happy Ghost” caused a sensation as soon as they arrived at Tiaojingling Middle School. How could there be a chance to see a movie in this backcountry?
In particular, the two heroines, Wen Bixia and Li Shan, became the envy of all the students in the school, even the students who played supporting roles.
Wen Bixia has never been so beautiful before. Everywhere she goes, her classmates take the initiative to greet her, and she wears new clothes with her head held high, and she has an indescribable confidence in her heart.
It was in this atmosphere that “Happy Ghost” began to be filmed at Tiaojingling Middle School. More than 100 students from the school were selected as extras and wore brand-new sportswear, and more than 20 girls who played cheerleaders were also assigned beautiful skirts.
In addition, there were many students who volunteered to help, just to observe how the film was made up close, so that the filming speed was much faster than Kang Jianfei expected.
Originally planned to shoot the five-day sports meeting scene, it was finished in two days. When the crew left, the students at the school still wanted Kang Jianfei to shoot for two more days. After all, they usually had too little entertainment, not to mention watching movies, many students couldn’t watch TV.
After the “Happy Ghost” crew left, the venue for the Games was not removed. Principal Lin organized a winter sports meeting on the spot and brought students from several nearby schools. The prizes for each competition were sponsored by the “Happy Ghost” crew. thing.
The next step was to transfer to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to shoot the dormitory and the dance scene. At this time, the crew finally appeared.
……
……
The crew settled down at the Polytechnic University and borrowed several dormitories for girls. Kang Jianfei directed the field workers to rearrange the dormitory, which was more girlish and sweet than before. Since there is no artist, Kang Jianfei can only do it according to his own feelings, and by the way, he also invited a few female students to arrange it together.
After the scene of the dormitory was finished, Fatty Shen Tianxia finally came in his car. As soon as they met, he explained to Kang Jianfei with a smile: “Director, I’m not late, right? I was stuck on the road just now.”
“It’s not too late, I’ve just finished setting up the scenery here, Sister Fatty, you came just right.” Kang Jianfei enthusiastically began to tell Shen Tianxia about the next scene. In fact, even if Shen Dianxia is really late, Kang Jianfei can’t be angry. After all, he is a new director, and Shen Dianxia’s promise to play is to give him face.
Kang Jianfei was introducing Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia and other young actors to the temple, when suddenly Qi Bo came over anxiously and whispered to Kang Jianfei, “Director, the fat man who promised to play Uncle Fat just called to say no. performed.”
Since Hu Juncai wanted to play the leading role, his original work was scattered, and most of his work was handed over to the old Jianghu, Qibo. I have to say that Jiang is still old and hot. After Qibo was in charge of the logistics and coordination of the crew, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which made Kang Jianfei a lot of peace of mind.
Kang Jianfei has decided that after the filming of “Happy Ghost”, he must keep Qibo in the company. If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the company has a calm old man, which will make the overall atmosphere of the company much more stable.
As soon as he heard that the actor playing Uncle Fat was not coming, Kang Jianfei immediately frowned. Uncle Fatty is the husband of Shen Tianxia’s character. Although he is a supporting role with few roles, many of the laughs in the whole film are in this person, and he is a very important role.
“What’s the matter with Fatty?” Kang Jianfei asked.
Qi Bo said: “It was said that I received another play, and the time schedule couldn’t come, so I didn’t play it.”
Kang Jianfei was quite depressed. This is the tragedy of an unknown director. It was obviously the actor who had arranged for him first. Once he received another famous director’s play, he immediately kicked him away, because those actors simply didn’t believe that his play would become popular. This was the case with Tang Zhenye before, and the same is true of the fat man who is not famous now.
After “Happy Ghost” hits theaters, I’m afraid Tang Zhenye and that fat man will regret it to the death.
It’s just that the filming is about to take place soon, and it happens to be that fat man’s scene. Where can Kang Jianfei find such a happy fat man to save the scene?
Kang Jianfei thought about it for a while, and the best candidate he thought of was Wang Jing. Wang Jing, this fat man is very good at being a man, and he will definitely come to rescue him.
Thinking of this, Kang Jianfei immediately ran to the phone in the dormitory and quickly dialed Wang Tianlin’s house.
“Dududu…”
After several minutes of calling, no one answered. It seemed that even Wang Jing’s wife was not at home.
When Kang Jianfei was extremely anxious, he saw Zhong Zhiwen not far away, so he quickly called him over and said, “The fat man who plays Uncle Fat is not here, you have read the complete script of the scene, is there a good candidate to come? Rescue?”
“I don’t know a fat man who can act either.” Zhong Zhiwen grabbed his head, thinking about a sudden shock, and said, “I don’t know a fat man, but I do know a thin man who can act.”
“Skinny?” Kang Jianfei pondered the possibility of changing the character image.
Zhong Zhiwen said: “Director, you can see that Shen Dianxia is already fat and comedy enough, why do you need to match her with a fat husband? We can choose a skinny guy who looks obscene. The contrast is stronger, isn’t it more joyful?”
“That’s a good idea!” Kang Jianfei nodded and said, thinking that Zhong Zhiwen is indeed a talented person who can film and direct in the future. He has a deep understanding of movies.
Zhong Zhiwen hesitated for a moment and said, “But this skinny guy is very busy. I have to make a phone call first and ask him if he is free.”
Kang Jianfei asked, “Is this person very famous?”
Zhong Zhiwen said with a smile: “It’s a bit of a story. He’s also a director. He used to stay in Jiashi before. I guess your cousin also knows him.”
“Who are you talking about?” Kang Jianfei became more and more curious.
Zhong Zhiwen picked up the phone, dialed the number and said, “Xu Ke.”
Kang Jianfei didn’t expect that Zhong Zhiwen was talking about Xu Ke, so he nodded and said, “This skinny guy is really wretched.”
Xu Ke has directed a TV series last year, and this year he directed a movie “Butterfly Change”. Although the box office of “Butterfly Change” was terrible, the film industry’s evaluation of the film is very high, and Xu Ke can be regarded as a cutting-edge director who has already emerged.
After the call was connected, Zhong Zhiwen said a few words of greetings, and then asked directly, “Old Xu, are you free today… I’m not inviting you to dinner, but to film a movie… Yes, I’m filming with a director, and I’m in short supply. People need to be rescued…yes, your image is very suitable…not much, not many scenes…come here quickly, we are in polytechnic university…”
When Zhong Zhiwen hung up the phone, Kang Jianfei asked in disbelief, “Is this done?”
“Yeah.” Zhong Zhiwen smiled, “Lao Xu is a very talkative person, and he would usually not refuse when he was called to the rescue.”
Kang Jianfei thought to himself: I heard rumors that Xu Ke has a very strange temper? It’s called Old Monster Xu!
In less than half an hour, Xu Ke appeared in a dirty coat, and Zhong Zhiwen waved to him from afar.
“Hello, Mr. Xu, it’s such an honor to invite you this time.” Kang Jianfei greeted warmly. He knew that Xu might be here to save Zhong Zhiwen’s face, and it had nothing to do with him. And Xu Ke was very popular in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s. If he could pull him into his company…
Of course not now. To pull Xu Ke into the company requires sufficient funds and a stable theater chain. With these two, Xu Ke can be attracted to make movies.
As for now, Kang Jianfei, who is poor and white, can only have a good relationship with Xu Ke first, and then it will be better to talk to someone later.
Zhong Zhiwen hurriedly introduced: “This is the director, Mr. Kang Jianfeikang.”
“Kang Jianfei? This name sounds familiar.” Xu Ke thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t remember where he heard Kang Jianfei’s name.
Zhong Zhiwen said with a smile, “”Searching for Qin” is Director Kang’s work. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
“Oh, where did I hear it?” Xu Ke suddenly realized that he shook hands with Kang Jianfei and smiled, showing his irregular teeth, “Hello, Mr. Kang, I have been looking forward to it for a long time!”
“I also admire Director Xu’s name for a long time,” Kang Jianfei said in a related manner, “You and I are friends with Zhiwen, just call me Ah Fei.”
Xu Ke was really good at talking, and he got to know Kang Jianfei after a few sentences, but Kang Jianfei could feel that Xu Ke’s smile was mostly perfunctory, and it could only be regarded as social entertainment.
Zhong Zhiwen calmly pulled Xu Ke aside, then took out the script for the sub-scene and handed it to Xu Ke, saying, “This was drawn by Kang Jianfei himself.”
Xu Ke opened the split script in confusion. After flipping through a few pages, he was taken aback and complained, “Awen, you really are, why didn’t you introduce such a friend to me earlier?”
Zhong Zhiwen smiled bitterly and said, “You were busy with “Butterfly Change” some time ago, so how can you see me?”
After reading the script, Xu Ke’s attitude towards Kang Jianfei changed drastically. The previous perfunctory coping became a sincere communication, and he dragged Kang Jianfei to talk about his film ideas.
Kang Jianfei couldn’t help coughing and said, “Lao Xu, let’s film first.”
Xu Ke smiled awkwardly: “Oh, okay, show me the script.”
While Xu Ke was reading the script, Kang Jianfei was thinking about how to design Xu Ke. Finally, the hair stylist cut his hair into separate parts, then glued him a two-way beard, and put a hairy mole on his chin.
An extremely wretched Xu Ke came into being.
